    Hello all new to 3reef.com.... been a long time lurker of many reefing forums but decided its time to join.

    First of my name is caleb im 19 years old and ive been reef keeping for 4 yrs now. started off with a 10g which i lost after 2 yrs due to a heater mafunction which pretty much boiled everything :/... after that hardship decided to make the plunge with a bigger tank so i got my hands on a 46g bowfront which i absolutely loved... got my brother into SW and hooked him up with a 40g breeder.... now, 2 yrs later decided it was time for another upgrade so i combined both tanks and im starting in on my new project... the 90g w/ 30g sump/refugium

    loving the new tank so far...so much more room for coral growth...gave me a chance to get rid of unwanted damsels in the tank from the original cycle.. tank now houses the following

    pair of clarkiis
    pair of Gold stripe maroons
    royal gramma
    green clown goby
    koran angel
    yellow tang
    hippo tang
    yellow eyes kole tang
    porcipine puffer
    foxface

    orange ricordia
    red ricordia
    GSP
    green toadstool leather
    finger leather
    2 types of anthilia
    15 varieties of zoos
    torch
    hammer
    frogspawn
    green digi
    4 random acro
    orange cap

    lookinforward to gaining knowledge from using this site... any suggestion of forseen probs with the stocking list jus lemme know...help always appreciated

    Welcome. So is the list what you have now. Seems like a lot of fish. Could be wrong. Congrats of the upgrade. Be sure to do some reffing in Puerto Rico.

    Welcome to 3 reef Caleb

    the Koran Angel would probably make a mess of many of those corals

    saw a large one dissecting a LPS hammer coral recently in a LFS ( doh)

    would also be over the limit in terms of stocking capacity allowing for all those fish at adult sizes

    I know from experience Yellow and Hippo tangs have been OK, not sure what adding the Kole would do to that mix ?
